The year before.
June 16
Jimmy tapped his head with the pen he held continuously, thinking of something when his phone rang in his pocket. He checked to see it and grinned when he saw that it was his fiancé. He answered it with joy.
“Hey Abigail. How are you doing?” He asked.
“Not too fine. Can you stop by my house after work?” She asked. “We have been apart for too long. I miss you.”
Jimmy smiled. “Why not my princess. Anything for you.”
“Should I cook anything for you?”
“It’s not necessary,” Jimmy repiled. “But you can cook my favourite. I will appreciate that very much.”
“I will do that.”
“Oh yeah, I have a surprise for you,” Jimmy announced.
“Really?” Abigail asked excitedly.
Jimmy nodded from where he sat.
“What is it? I am awfully curious,” Abigail said.
“Oh Abigail. If I tell you now, it would not be a surprise anymore,” Jimmy repiled but she pleaded until he gave in. “You remember your wish for us?”
There was hesitation as if Abigail was trying to remember. “What wish?”
“You have always asked why we never kissed, right?”
“Yeah I did,” Abigail admitted, wondering where he was heading to.
“Tonight, I am going to kiss you.”
“Really?” Abigail asked, excitedly.
“You know I can’t lie,” Jimmy boasted.
“And you will tell me the reason you have been avoiding it, right?” Abigail asked.
“I will, I promise.”
Finally,” Abigail sighed happily. “Okay now I think it’s time you get back to your work. I will be expecting you.”
Jimmy had hardly answered when he heard a gunshot and the line went dead.
“Abi… Abigail? You there right?” He glanced at his phone and redialed her number.
The customer you trying to call is unavailable at the moment. You can leave a message after the beep.
He tried it again but the same answer; even to the fifth time. Beads of sweat had already formed on his head. He rushed to the Chief office. By that time, Mr Roy was the deputy.
The Chief, Mr Vlad a mean looking old man sat behind his desk, making a phone call with his office telephone when Jimmy entered.
Call you later. Hm,” the Chief said and replaced the receiver. “Oh Jimmy what brings you here and in a deadbeat manner?”
“Uh, sir. I have to quickly get home for a family emergency. I know it’s not right but please grant me my request,” Jimmy pleaded.
“It can wait, Jimmy. I am afraid I cannot grant your request. When we close, you go home.”
“But sir, I just pointed out the fact that I have a family emergency and it is very important and serious,” Jimmy pleaded still.
“I have said it once and will only repeat it once. I can’t grant your request. Just wait patiently for the closing time,” Mr Vlad repiled, sternly and with an austere look on his face.
“But…”
“You are dismissed Jimmy. I will hear nothing else.”
Jimmy walked back to his desk with red eyes refusing to talk to anyone, not even Penelope. If something happened to Abigail, he was not sure he would forgive himself. If something…
Present day
Jimmy shook his head to forget the remaining part. It was so horrific to remember.

They were in their white mask and red clothes, kneeling on a knee before a red curtain with a touch of white.
“It have been prepared.”
“You know how to stage this one. It is not going to be direct.”
“We understand,sir.”
“And I detest all mistake. It must be perfectly and wonderfully planned.
“We understand. Success,sir.”
